Problems solved by technology

In some cases, however, H. pylori infection can cause chronic active, chronic persistent, or atrophic gastritis.
Precise estimates of the age of acquisition of the invention are difficult to obtain because most children that are infected are asymptomatic.
Even without symptoms, however, the infection can develop into more dangerous conditions such as antral gastritis, the most common manifestation in children.
In addition, if an individual becomes infected with H. pylori during childhood, the infection may remain in his system throughout the course of his life, potentially leading to other diseases in adulthood.
The disadvantage to widespread antibiotic treatment is the development of antibiotic resistance.
The H. pylori infection has previously been shown to be resistant to several antibiotic treatments, contributing to treatment failure in a number of cases.
Thus, infected individuals cannot be assured that antibiotic treatment will be effective.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 986,029, filed Nov. 7, 2007, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002](1) Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to carotenoid-containing compositions, methods for inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and methods for preventing or treating a bacterial infection in a subject via the administration of carotenoids.[0004](2) Description of the Related Art[0005]Approximately two-thirds of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Many people that are infected with the bacteria never suffer any symptoms related to the infection. In some cases, however, H. pylori infection can cause chronic active, chronic persistent, or atrophic gastritis. Infection with H. pylori also causes duodenal and gastric ulcers. In fact, H. pylori causes more than 9...
